About this dive site

This dive site, 2 Mile Reef Pinnacles, is located off the coast of South Africa and is characterized by a collection of shallow pinnacles, offering a relatively easy and enjoyable dive experience. Navigation is straightforward, as the pinnacles are clearly visible, and divers can easily explore the area around them. The ‘Old Woman Pinnacle’ is a noteworthy feature, rising prominently from the seabed.

The abundant marine life is a highlight of this dive site. Divers can expect to encounter a variety of species, including Peacock Mantis Shrimp, Geometric Moray Eels, Puffer Fish, Green Sea Turtles, Scribbled Filefish, Goldies, and even Whitetip Reef Sharks. The diversity of both small and large creatures makes for an engaging underwater experience.

The best time to visit 2 Mile Reef Pinnacles would likely be during the warmer months, when visibility is generally better and the water is warmer. For freedivers, the shallow depths make this an excellent choice, with ample opportunities to explore the reef structure and observe the marine life. Divers should be aware of boat traffic, a common hazard in any open-water diving location. Remember to always check the weather forecast and dive within your limits.
